Song for David Bowie

The stars woke me up last night Burning brighter than I ever could remember And I knew that you were gone Fast, I stumbled out of bed Pitching sideways like a boat upon rough water Touched my face against the glass And looking out upon the waves The stars reflected on the sea And on they stretched into the dark In what seemed to me like infinity But I'll keep swinging No, love, I know I'm not alone I see you dancing in the cosmos Farewell, alien I'll see you again When I look up to the stars There you are Dance wherever you are You prettiest star I'll leave the light on for whenever you come home Pouring over memories Thinking back about the stranger you accepted You were everything to me Tripping up upon the sand Kicked in my face This isn't all there is, you smiled You made it seem ok And as I listened to the tide I swear I faintly heard you sing There is more to love than life I closed my eyes and breathed No, love, I know I'm not alone I see you dancing in the cosmos Farewell, alien I'll see you again When I look up to the stars There you are Dance wherever you are You prettiest star I'll leave the light on for whenever you come home Dance, wherever you are You're never too far To show the nobodies we're somebodies We are Because you say we are No, love, I know I'm not alone I see you dancing in the cosmos Farewell, alien I'll see you again When I look up to the stars I won't let you fade Look now, down on the shore At all the lights you held so long We hold them now We'll pass them on We'll miss you, Major Tom
